Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse participated in ComicCon panel discussion and an interview with the cable station G4. Ew.com gave the following report on the Lost panel discussion. Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse weren't expected to reveal much of anything about the upcoming season at their Comic-Con panel Saturday; production on the drama won't begin for another three weeks in Hawaii and the writers are typically loathe to give spoilers away, anyway. Still, the duo didn't disappoint. They immediately took questions from the audience and gave Lost memorabilia to anyone who made it up to the microphone. Besides handing out nifty prizes like an autographed life jacket and a T-shirt that read, "I asked a question about Richard Alpert and all I got was this lousy T-shirt," the producers did offer up a few tidbits about the coming year. Jin and Locke will appear in one form or another, Rousseau's story will finally be told, and Walt's dog Vincent will stage a comeback (some fan, in fact, actually inquired about the dog's status). Oh, and Lindelof insisted that the Island did not move in the finale. Matthew Fox (pictured) showed up, too, mostly to glad-hand a fan and smile pretty for the room

Early reports from Comic Con 2008 are trickling in with some information on JJ Abram's two TV shows. Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindeloff participated in a panel discussion and gave a few insights into Lost. We are not to expect too much on screen explanations for what appears on the show. The producers believe that "We need to keep you in awe. If you talk about it, it's not so much fun." Cuse explains that the show "would be stripped of its power if he and Lindelof tried to incorporate more exposition about, say, the origin of the smoke monster -- which is why we'll probably never hear Jack and Kate talk in great detail about it." He went on to explain "Cake is the character in the show while the mythology is the frosting."

There was so much to talk about in the finale of Season Four that I didn't know where to begin. It wasn't a perfect episode, but all in all I really enjoyed it. So I finally decided to narrow down what I wanted to say to a list of my favorite ten scenes. You may agree with some or all of these choices, or you may think I must have watched a completely different show. After the jump, you'll see what I considered the highlights of all three parts of "There's No Place Like Home."

As we watched tonight's episode, perched on the edge of our seats, no doubt, as the freighter blew up before ours and our losties eyes. Many of us couldn't help but share Sun's painful screams as she watched her husband, Jin, perish in the ship's explosion. But a closer look at the scene immediately before the explosion appears to show nobody standing near the back of the boat where Jin was last seen. So I'll ask the question...could he have somehow made it off that boat before it exploded? This is lost, and we never actually saw him die. Let us know what your thoughts are on Jin's fate.

In the Season 4 finale of LOST, Ben uses a frozen donkey wheel to "move" the island. A bright light fills the sky, similar to what we saw with the Hatch Explosion, and then, the island disappears. A "hole" in the water can be seen closing up, filling in where the island use to be. But, where did it go? What exactly is the island, and how does this magical wheel in an oddly frozen underground cave control it? Bigger pics after the jump.

When Ben uses the Frozen Donkey Wheel to move the island, he is in an old cave in which there are some hieroglyphs. Of course, we first caught sign of such glyphs on the Hatch Computer count down doomsday clock. Then, we saw glyphs in Ben's secret cave inside his secret room, inside a secret room. These glyphs seem to be tied to the natives of the island, and the four-toed statue, temple, and ruins we have seen or heard about. Of course, we don't really know what any of this is about... but we have two more seasons to find out. Take a closer look after the jump, and send your translations to us in the comments section!

The season finale of LOST continues tonight with parts 2 and 3 of There's No Place Like Home! For those of you who don't have time to watch the recap of part 1 at 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern, here's a short reminder of where we left off last week.

By the end of part 1, Locke was about to enter the Orchid so that they could "move the island" while Ben was standing face to face with dear ole Keamy. Jack and Sawyer were at the helicopter with Frank, and just realized the danger that Hurley was in because he was with Locke and Ben. Meanwhile, Desmond, Michael, Jin, and Sun have come across an awful lot of C4 rigged to the freighter. Tonight's conclusion of an episode that was well liked by SW users and served as a fantastic setup episode for what is sure to be a wild ride of a finale. Tune in an hour earlier than usual for the two hours of action and fun.

I figured that if Lost was going to take a break, so would I. Now Lost is back and so is the poll review. "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1" received strong reviews earning an 8.38 rating. I was surprised that this episode earned such a high mark since it did not have very much action and was more of a set up for the two hour finale. The SWLS users gave it strong marks with only one low score and 53.2% scoring it a 9 or 10. Even PointPlace gave it an extremely rare 10! Surprised by PointPlace's generosity, some members are demanding he provide a urine sample. Since most agreed with him, he was spared "the cup", for now.

Part One: Michael by Thlaylirah
I think they have finally broken my brain. Don't get me wrong, I love Lost more than ever. Season Four has been nothing short of a return to greatness in my opinion, but with every answer the writers give us, they raise two new questions. For example, we finally learn that Ben can control the smoke monster, but how does he do it and why must everyone flee from it if Ben is in control? And yes, Claire is Jack's sister, but why does Kate have baby Aaron and why doesn't Jack want to raise him? Christian lives! No wait, now we are showing his funeral, no wait, he lives! This is around the time my brain went kerplooey. Despite all of this and the fact that I now have the I.Q. of a baked turnip, I can't wait to watch the season finale. But to me, the most clarifying moment of the season came in the episode "Meet Kevin Johnson" when Michael was confronted with the walking dead we lovingly refer to as Libby. Normally I am not much into theorizing, but at that moment I knew exactly why Libby was there and what she represented. Libby is Michael's Albatross and I knew it without a doubt.

For those unfamiliar with the term, the word albatross is frequently used to describe a "long-term impediment; burden; curse". The reference is taken from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798). The passage that came to mind was:

'God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends that plague thee thus!
Why look'st thou so?
With my cross-bow
I shot the Albatross.'

Ok, so maybe Michael didn't literally shoot Libby with a cross-bow, but the symbolism is there for all to see. Michael is literally wearing the specter of Libby around his neck. Libby is Michael's short term problem, a major accident in his life that represents his innermost burden. Most of you are probably thinking that if Mike was to have an albatross, it would probably appear in the form of Walt, but I disagree. What is it that Mike wants the most in his life? His son. Walt is the final goal, the thing that Mike wants the most. Think about it. An Albatross is a great burden because it is so difficult to defeat.

Part of the cover-up story involving the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 involves the Oceanic 6 being helped ashore by some fishermen on a small remote island in the Pacific. To help convince the public, a fake photo of that "rescue" has been staged and presented at a press conference. Get a better view of the photo by clicking the Continue Reading link below.

Someone is going to a lot of trouble to keep the truth about Oceanic Airlines under wraps. Obviously, Widmore has something to gain by keeping his staged wreck a secret, but why are all the Losties participating in a cover up? In "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1", the Oceanic 6 attend a joint press conference with Oceanic representatives where a cover up story explains that the survivors washed up on a remote island. Here are some maps showing the cover-up locales. Bigger pics after the jump.

In "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1", Dan finds out that Keamy is headed toward the Orchid Station. The news sets off alarm bells in Dan's head, as he realized the backup plan is being initiated. Dan looks up some notes he made on the Orchid in his book, which we get a quick glimpse out. Formulas surround the logo, and some writing, which includes "space like factors", "time like factors" and "Possible!". Get a larger view of the notes after the jump.

The season finale of LOST begins tonight! Well... sort of. The finale has been expanded to a three hour episode, and we get the first hour tonight, and the final two hours in two weeks. LOST once again borrows from "The Wizard of Oz" with thematically relevant title. Thing are coming to a head quickly between the Widmore Commandos, lead by Keamy, and Locke's group as well as Jack's beach group (not to mention Sayid and the rest of the not-penny's-boat people).
